Distinguished by the subpulvinate thallus, which in its smaller states 

 is often almost covered by the confluent soiedia. With us it is never 

 seen fertile. 



Hab. On trees, pales, barn-doors, occasionally on rocks and stones, in 

 maritime and upland tracts. Distr. Local, though plentiful where it 

 occurs, throughout England ; very rare in S. Scotland. B. M. : Near 

 King's Lynn, Norfolk ; Lakenham, Suffolk ; Penshurst, Kent ; near 

 Lyndhurst, New Forest, Hants ; near Penzance, Cornwall ; Gopsall, 

 Leicestershire. Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh. 



c. Thalltis usually transversely or subreticulately unequal ; 

 cortical layer amorphous or subamorphous.

 reticulato-rugose, or reticulato-scrobiculose, or thinly rugulose and 

 partly plane, compressed, subopaque, variously laciniate, whitish or 

 greenish straw-coloured ; laciuiae difform and variously divided, 

 more or less soredioso-lacerate (medulla K ). Apothecia moderate, 

 concave or somewhat plane, pale-testaceous or pale-glaucous, the 

 receptacle rugose beneath; spores oblong, slightly curved, 0,010-15

The thallus is somewhat soft and often pliciform from rugosity. It 

 varies considerably in size as well as in the breadth and divisions of the 

 laciniae. The apothecia occur sparingly in this country, and the speruio- 

 grmes, which are not frequent, are somewhat scattered, with spermatia 

 0,003-4 mm. long, scarcely 0,001 mm. thick. 



Hab. On the trunks of old trees, chiefly oaks, in wooded upland dis- 

 tricts. Distr. General and common in S. and W. England and S. and E. 

 Ireland ; rare in the Channel Islands ; not seen from Scotland. B. M. : 

 Dixcart, Island of Sark. Near Walthamstow, Essex; near Reigate, 

 Surrey ; Bridge, near Tunbridge Wells and Worthing, Sussex ; Lydd, 

 Kent; Testwood Park (frt.) and near Lyndhurst (frt.), New Forest, 

 Hants; Bemhridge, Isle of Wight; Ilsington, S. Devon; Endellion and

Form monophylla Cromb. Journ. Bot. 1872, p. 73. Thallus 

 pendulous, simple, broad, oblongo-rounded, very rugose, the margin 

 entire. Apotbecia not seen. Leight. Lich. Fl. ed. 3, p. 88. 



Apparently distinct, with a simple, leaf-like thallus. It has the same 

 relation to the type as the analogous form of var. amjtlia-la has to 

 rn.fra.rmea. The soredia are rather large, and the thalline reticulations
